It is a pretty good recording device. However, you can only listen to the recordings using the recorder or play back on PC using the software plugins for Windows media player. The plugins comes with the player on a CD and I had no problem installing it. The recoding is in a proprietary SONY format called "dvf" or "digital voice file". The software that comes with the recorder can not convert dvf to any other format such as mp3 or wav. It does not have a conversion feature. As far as I can tell, you need to buy either a SONY digital vocie transcript kit that comes wth SONY "digital voice editor" or some 3rd party software to do the conversion. I called SONY support asking to buy a copy of "digital voice editor" and they sold and sent me a CD for about $38.00.

This review is from: Sony ICDU70 - 1GB Digital Voice Recorder w/ MP3 & Storage Device. (Office Product) I bought this recorder to do one-on-one interviews. I can't listen to the recordings on the actual player though, I have to transfer them to the computer and play them with an audio player- the volume of the recordings is too quiet on the recorder itself. The quality of the recordings is fine once you get them transfered. The folders and the amount of storage on the recorder are great, but if I would have known that you can not listen to the files on the recorder I would have never purchased this. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Sony ICDU70 - 1GB Digital Voice Recorder w/ MP3 & Storage Device. (Office Product) I got this device for voice recording, specifically notes to myself.The device records well even at 2-3 feet way. The playback volume is pitiful, however, even at the highest setting. Calling support was no help as they just directed me to do what I had already done and then told me it was recommended that one should always listen to the recording through the headphones. That is inconvenient for my purposes and I don't see any place on the package or on the insert which states that. |
